Faith, Learning, and the Outdoors: Holy Cross at the NCEA Conference

We’re proud to share some exciting news from Holy Cross School!

Our principal and preschool teacher have been selected to present at this year’s National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA) Conference, taking place April 7–9 in Minneapolis. This national conference brings together Catholic educators from across the country to share ideas, best practices, and innovative programs that support faith-filled learning communities.

During their presentation, they will highlight Holy Cross’s journey in launching a faith-based outdoor preschool program. Attendees will learn about the inspiration behind the program, the planning process, and the many ways outdoor, hands-on experiences can nurture young children’s curiosity, independence, and spiritual growth. Rooted in Catholic values, the program encourages children to explore God’s creation while building foundational academic and social skills.

We are honored that Holy Cross’s work is being recognized on a national stage and grateful for the leadership and creativity of our educators. Their willingness to share our story reflects our commitment to innovative, faith-centered education and to helping other schools bring similar opportunities to their communities.

Please join us in congratulating them as they represent Holy Cross School at NCEA and share how learning, faith, and the outdoors come together in a meaningful way for our youngest learners.
